@dustinmathenia That’s excellent news!!

As a real estate practitioner in the Colorado Springs market for a better part of the last 15 years, I can recite the obvious...School District 20 has an excellent reputation overall, the north and southeast quadrants are some of the fastest growing and the southwest is largely quite desirable.

Also, being that young you would probably have a hard time discussing with sellers with credibility.

@Mindy Jensen how about a Grammy with an outstanding potty mouth, excellent writing skills and good proof reading / editing as well?

Leland and Trent you both  really opened up with  excellent advise.

@Jim Keller@Darren EadyThanks for the excellent information!

Nope, that insight only goes to folks with a little loyalty because I know that if they don't close on this one with me, they will close on the next, so I may as well let them know that the appraisal isn't credible to me.With jumbo: each private end lender is deciding for themselves how conservative or liberal they want to be with their guidelines, and processing/underwriting speed too, and then adjusts interest rate pricing (risk based pricing and/or paying overtime to underwriters) from there.

That is an excellent suggestion.

Btw, I really enjoy crunching numbers (Excel is my friend!)

However, since my family and I have worked with Shawn I would like to say that he is excellent and very professional.
